I worked in university admissions and this makes sense: provate schools inflate predicted grades, state schools often predict lower than students attainhttps://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1161542378303426562 …

If you want to make it fair, it has to be based on achieved grades. Interviewing students is overrated, heavily biased, and a proven waste of time. An algorithm can better tell you who to take.
Warwick didn’t interview kids from deprived neighbourhoods/schools, just accepted them, ditto York. Kids from poor schools perform far better than privately schooled kids with the same grades.
Anyway, it wasa proper joy telling students with better than anticipated grades they could come to Warwick, but the whole system is currently dysfunctional. Replace it with an algorithm, use attained grades.
I worked in University admissions as well, it wasn't just the posh kids parents who screamed at me!
Seconded. I took a year out to reapply to the course I wanted after getting better grades than predicted (in quite a struggling comp). Would have preferred to just make the decision once.
I did exactly this!
